How can I deactivate sections while I edit them?

How to temporarily hide sections of your UENI website on a hidden page while you edit them.

Your UENI website goes live as soon as it's built, so how do you work on updates without visitors seeing them half-finished? Here's a simple way to hide sections while you edit them.

Warning: This workaround only works on websites using Advanced Layouts.

Step 1: Open the UENI Editor

Go to your UENI Hub and click Edit Website.

Step 2: Remove sections from your live page

Click Pages, choose the page, click Edit, then click the trash icon next to each section you want to hide.

  2. Add the sections you want to edit to this new page.

Note: As long as this page isn't added to your site's menu, visitors can't reach it without a direct link.

Step 4: Edit your sections

Click each section on the hidden page and make your changes. Take your time, as nothing is visible to visitors yet.

When you're happy, add the updated sections back to your live pages.
